Tue, 12 Jan 2016 03:53:43 +0000http://compassionatelanguage.wordpress.com/?p=204#comment-249Found this post by accident, but I totally agree with you. People immediately attack anything said or done by teenage girls as supposedly superficial even though no one can explain why they feel that way (answer of course is cultural misogyny). Thank you for posting the truth.

Mon, 21 Dec 2015 00:25:21 +0000http://compassionatelanguage.wordpress.com/?p=190#comment-243Overall I’d like to take the JLPT next year. I’m afraid of commitment too! What I’ve been doing is setting myself goals I’d like to get done every month, I’ve been doing well with that, only really missing one. I think it’s best to break your goals down into steps or actionable chunks that you find manageable. Good luck I’m sure you’ll do well in 2016 🙂

Mon, 12 Oct 2015 16:49:46 +0000http://compassionatelanguage.wordpress.com/?p=181#comment-239Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s only in the last 5ish years that I’d say I’ve started learning a language just for the fun of it, and discipline suddenly becomes an issue when before it wasn’t that bad. To imply that someone is in any way a more productive/disciplined person just because they choose to educate themselves about x, y or z is nonsense. After all, maybe we should all shut up and learn Java or something.

Fri, 02 Oct 2015 14:19:44 +0000http://compassionatelanguage.wordpress.com/?p=181#comment-236I find that distinction rather weird a well. I can see how having that distinction is useful in some cases, but I know plenty of people who grew up multilingual, for instance, and then also learn languages for fun…
I’m glad the italki challenge is giving you something other than recovery to think about! It can be so boring when you need to give your body time to get back to its usual state of working.

You were both v. positive on the aspect of opening up the definition of who dares call themselves a polyglot, which I can totally get behind. The definition mentioned in that talk just inevitably made me think of who was *still* being left out and why, though, you know?
